Whole30 Golden Turmeric Milk

This recipe was first appeared on Whole30recipes social media channel during my guest post week in January 2018.

I omitted adding any sweeteners (including dates) to make the beverage Whole30 compliant. I was so happy to receive the official go-ahead from Whole30 before sharing this recipe on their channel.

Because turmeric is fat-soluble, coconut oil helps our bodies to absorb. Black pepper also makes the curcumin in turmeric more bio available so don’t skip these two ingredients!

Milk frother

I used a milk frother to make my Whole30 Golden Turmeric Milk extra frothy smooth but a few extra whisk will do the same trick.

In the recipe below I used both light coconut milk from a can and almond milk to create a more complex flavor. If you are short on ingredients use only coconut milk. And if you want a lighter taste, coconut milk from a milk carton will give you a lighter flavor.

Hot and cold

Since this Whole30 Golden Turmeric Milk recipe was first shared in January, I made it a hot beverage. But it’s great for cold drinks too. Just pour it over a cup of ice cubes for a lovely iced cold Golden Turmeric Milk in hot summer !

This creamy delicious Whole30 Golden Turmeric Milk is :

Paleo, Whole30, Vegan, and Keto friendly.
Caffeine free
Dairy free
Earthy
Anti-inflammatory, fight colds, plus many more.

▢ 1 cinnamon stick
▢ ground black pepper 1 small pinch
▢ (Optional) half of one whole dates, pitted , omit if Whole30 or Keto

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a saucepan. Whisk and warm over medium heat. Gently warm the milk but not boiling – about 5-6 minutes. Whisk frequently. Add more turmeric or ginger to taste for stronger flavor. Drain the ingredients over a sieve. Froth the milk with a milk frother (optional).
To serve: Winter: serve hot and immediately. Summer: let the milk cool to room temperature and serve it chilled over ice.
To store: Once the milk is cool to room temperature, refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

Notes

This Whole30 Golden Turmeric Milk recipe has more earthy taste. if, however, you aren’t following Whole30 or Keto and prefer a slightly sweeter taste, add half of one whole date in step 1 to sweeten the milk a bit.
The nutrition calculation is based on 1 serving without the dates (sweetener).
